Advanced defense against biofouling
As ships grow in size and efficiency, they face constant threats from biofouling. A ship slowed by fouling means higher fuel burn, which translates directly into higher carbon emissions intensity. PPG’s antifouling and fouling release coatings are engineered to combat biofouling and prevent organisms from attaching or even recognizing ships. Our technologies help vessels operate more efficiently, reduce environmental impact and extend their operational life.
PPG’s leading fouling control technologies
With a focus on biocide-free, silicone fouling release coatings and copper-free, ultra-low-friction antifouling systems, PPG is setting new standards in sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. Our innovative technologies, combined with our pioneering electrostatic application method, are helping shape a more efficient Blue Economy.
